Moss Stitch 12″ Afghan Square – Free Crochet Pattern

Two days ago I posted about finding a stitch combo that looked like the knit moss stitch. And, as promised, here is a free pattern for you to try it out. I made it as an afghan square, but you could easily use it as a dishcloth pattern.

Size “J” crochet hook

Row 1: slip stitch in 3rd ch from hook, *hdc in next ch, sl st in next ch, repeat from * across, turn.

Cindy,
I haven’t tried this stitch without turning your work, so I would suggest turning after each row. What about making it one long scarf and whip stitching the first and last rows together? If you want me to come up with a pattern for it in circular form, I can try to work on it after the first of the year. Let me know.

Hi love the pattern I am not sure what you mean when you say slip stitch I haven’t heard of this stitch in crochet, can you explain this stitch thank you.

Hi Sandra,
I’ll do a photo tutorial of the slip stitch for you. If you normally read UK patterns it would probably be a sc for you. US terms call that a slip stitch. I should be able to get that up in the next day or so for you.
